I feel a smidge guilty for reviewing this place. Because I fully support the artsy little guys, I…read moreswear. And despite the 3 stars, I encourage you to support them as well. I just figured I'd give you a heads up before you do... The theater is a great size- smallish but not cramped and has good acoustics. Parking wasn't a problem for us. The actors were great. *Special shout out to Jay Kiecolt-Wahl. He was stellar in The True West. Now for the recommendations- wrap yourself in scarves, wool, mittens, beanies, long underwear, blankets and perhaps even a hot water bottle. Because this place is C-O-L-D. Bring an extra blanket or if you're from Berkeley, your yoga mat, because you'll bruise your poor little behind. The seats are like old-school movie theater seats but without ANY padding. That means your tushie is right up against some cold, hard wood. And not the kind of hard wood that you want your tushie to be up against. So puhleeze, go support the artsy little guys. Just be prepared.

I rolled to the Live Oak Theater on Shattuck for the Live Oak Laughs Stand up Comedy Show . This show featured 5 Stand up Comedians - MC -Marc Abrigo, Sandy Stec, Jeff Applebaum,Chris Burns and Headliner Reggie Steel fresh from appearances on Americas Most Wanted and Trauma. The parking is all street so I parked a few blocks away and hiked in to the theater. The show is a Bargain in itself ,It was a Paltry $8 . The Live Oak Theater is a Small Intimate venue with theater seating and great acoustics. The Comedians where Funny as Hell . Topics ranged from Homeless People , White Guilt, Interracial Dating , In Breed Family's ,Dating and the Police. It was a very laughed filled evening . Great Show . After wards I headed to Triple Rock to get my drink on LOL.

Super fun. It's an old theatre, but it is so much fun. I have seen two shows there now, and I…read morelook forward to seeing many more. The inside is set up with tables and chairs. They do serve beer, wine, hot cider, sodas, coffee...you get the idea. Plus, and this is a big plus for me, they will let you bring your own bottle of wine in for a $10.00 corkage fee...so worth it to me. They don't have table service, you have to go to the back of the room to buy your beverages. The only thing you might need to know is, when you come in the front door you have to walk up stairs to get to the seating. I didn't see any other way up.

It was a nightmare to find a spot anywhere near the theater. I'd recommend leaving yourself at least 20 minutes to find parking before the movie. The food is okay! It's a movie theater, not a restaurant, so don't go in hoping for a gourmet plate of chicken tenders. I enjoy the Rialtos a lot! Long live movie theaters!

Of course the entertainment, Lloyd Gregory & Friends, was "da bomb"! The only displeasure experienced was the sighting of a bug (type unmentioned) crawling on the wall next to our table--twice. We didn't bring it to the attention of the management, but just "handled" it. However, it is suggested a pest inspection and treatment be implemented right away. I would hate for this to become a problem which might prevent my and others' patronization of such a wonderful asset to the Vallejo community.
